The Maryland Crabs is a podcast based in Annapolis Maryland which was launched in September 2016 after, quite literally years of hemming and hawing. After a few false starts, many aborted concepts, we just took the plunge, whipped out the credit cards and lit Amazon on fire with equipment orders. And here we are!

This podcast is not about interviews. It’s about topics and conversations of interest to Marylanders!

We are not going to shy away from controversy or discomfort. Valuable conversations can emerge from them. We will not be adversarial for the sake of being adversarial, but you can expect some heated exchanges between Tim and John and Guests–or any combination of those.

About Guests–we're going to have plenty of them! Some will be local or regional in nature--others more broad.

And, we may even take this show on the road. Some night, you might find us propped on a bar stool at the Ebb Tide..or worse!

Maryland State Senator John Astle has been serving in the State
legislature for 35 years. This year may be his last as he has
decided to run for Mayor of Annapolis. Does he have what it
takes?

Senator Astle sits down with the Crabs and talks about the Red
Coach Inn where he met his wife, his time in Viet Nam, the untimely
death of his son, his time flying President Nixon, his proudest
legislation, and of course the upcoming Mayoral election.

Hear the Senator call out the current Mayor, Mike Pantelides, for
never speaking to the council. Listen as he tells us who will NOT
get his Senate seat if he wins the election; and who to watch in
the future.

And here's a spoiler--he sees nothing on the horizon to stop
Governor Hogan from a second term!

But if you are just joining us.... make sure you check out some (or
all) of our previous
episodes? You really should. They could
change your life. Granted, your life would have to be pretty bad.
But still, we have some gems you will want to check out! Most
recently....

Anne Arundel County State's Attorney Wes Adams
and had a great conversation about crime in Anne Arundel County,
the heroin epidemic, the success of his Drug Court, and the case
that made him most proud. We may have touched on that old
Winnebago he used for the campaign too!

Marc Rodriguez. You may not know who he is
right now, but you will. A sharp guy who has been working with
Alderman Littmann and is poised to make a run for office in the
upcoming Annapolis elections.

Oh hell...just go back and listen to the ones you haven't heard!
